In the first half of today’s program, we discuss the reception of White South African immigrants under the Trump administration and contrast their plight with those of the immigrants the administration is actively expelling. We seek to identify and discuss any oddities or inconsistencies with this act, and hopefully give communities around the country insight into ways people can avoid unlawful arrest, detainment, and deportation.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/civiccipher?utm_source=searchSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WYSO Youth Radio works with middle and high school students across Ohio to share their stories through sound, straight from their lives to your ears.

On a corner in the center of St. Cloud, next to a former Wells Fargo bank, Abdikadir Bashir can view bustling cultural malls in three directions.There's a restaurant, a cafe, retail shops, a halal market, a health clinic — all started by East African immigrants who now call St. Cloud home.This busy hub is the heart of the recently arrived immigrant community in St. Cloud. Bashir, executive director of the Center for African Immigrants and Refugees Organization, said it challenges stereotypes of immigrants as a drain on the community.“This neighborhood is a testament to the contrary — that immigrants come here and do make the new communities better, economically, socially and culturally,” Bashir said. “And that's what we also intend to continue.”St. Cloud-based CAIRO provides services and support to immigrants and refugees, including education, health programs and workforce training. Those efforts have expanded to include helping address the shortage of housing in St. Cloud, one of multiple local efforts led by people of color.CAIRO bought the nearly 4-acre property on 33rd Avenue and Third Street North last year. It plans a mixed-use development with commercial, office and event space, and 70 rental apartments. “We came to realize that housing anchors everything,” Bashir said. “It is the foundation to human development. It is the foundation to community progress. Without a roof over your head, children will not be able to go to school. You will not be healthy. You will not be prospering economically.”The project is named Iskufilan Village. The Somali word means sufficient, whole or complete. Its supporters envision a thriving community hub that fosters a sense of belonging, with local businesses and essential services conveniently close by.Most of the 70 apartments will have three or four bedrooms. Bashir said that space is crucial for larger immigrant families that often include six or more people, compared to the U.S. average of 2.5.“We hear of moms that tend to hide their pregnancies, sometimes out of fear of growing out of their current apartment, or getting kicked out by a landlord,” he said. “I have heard stories of a family living in two adjacent apartments because one apartment is not (large) enough for them.”   The housing will be open to anyone, not restricted to immigrants or any certain demographics. Bashir said the project is driven by a belief in East African culture of a collective responsibility to solve problems.“It is led by the community,” he said. “It's coming from the community, because we have that lived experience.”At least 10 percent of the units will be designated as affordable, and the rest targeted toward middle-income working residents. Nearly half of St. Cloud's renters are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.CAIRO is putting together the private financing for the project. They're also asking the Legislature for $5 million in state funds.At a recent Senate housing committee meeting, Farhiya Iman spoke in favor of the project. She's an educator and social worker who's lived in St. Cloud for 20 years.Iman said she frequently sees families working full time, but still unable to find affordable housing.“Housing isn't just about walls and roof. It's about stability. It's about dignity. It's about opportunity,” she said. “And for far too many families in St. Cloud, that opportunity does not exist.”St. Cloud's need for apartments is just the start. A recent study estimated the city needs 17,000 new housing units over the next 15 years.Mayor Jake Anderson, who took office in January, said the city also needs single-family homes, senior housing and low-income housing. Without adequate housing, it's difficult for the city to attract new businesses, and it risks losing workers and talent to other places, Anderson said.“If you're not adding housing and then families are beginning to expand, they're going to move,” he said. “So you may see migration out of the city to either other cities in the region or other regional centers.”Another St. Cloud group wants to make the dream of home ownership a reality for more people.Dreamliner Estates LLC was founded by three community leaders of color who come from different professional backgrounds: public transit, community engagement and finance.“We see the struggles when it comes to underrepresented communities, people of color and we see the struggles, how hard it is for them to even attain housing,” said co-founder Ryan Daniel, who is also CEO of St. Cloud Metro Bus, the city's transit service.Owning a home is important for families to build generational wealth, Daniel said. But statistically, home ownership rates in St. Cloud are lower for people of color.Daniel's partners are Eunice Adjei and Emmanuel Oppong. The siblings are originally from Ghana, West Africa, and have both lived in St. Cloud for more than a decade.Adjei is director of multicultural services for St. Cloud Financial Credit Union. She said the application process often deters people in underserved communities from buying a home.“We really want to make sure that they understand all the rules when it comes to housing, so that that wouldn't deter them from being part of the solution,” Adjei said.Dreamliner Estates secured a $3.4 million state grant from Minnesota Housing for the first phase. Daniel said they hope to complete four homes on St. Cloud's south side by the end of the year. Eventually, they plan to build a total of 34 homes.The plan calls for twin homes, each with four bedrooms, to accommodate large families or several generations living together, which is common in collectivist cultures.“Some demographics prefer to have not just Mom, Dad and kids,” said Oppong, who also serves as the city's community engagement director. “They want to have Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandad, nephews and cousins all living closely.”An Islamic prohibition on paying or earning interest can make it challenging for Muslims to buy a home. Adjei said St. Cloud Financial Credit Union, Stearns Bank and other area lending institutions currently provide or plan to offer Sharia-compliant alternatives to traditional mortgages.Both organizations say they know their projects are only a first step toward meeting the community's housing shortage.“Like they say, a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step,” Bashir said. “This is that one step.”

For African immigrants in the US, the threat of mass deportation is a constant fear. Many have built lives, found stability, and raised families but now over a million non-US citizens face the reality of potential deportation. The Trump administration now plans to create a national register for undocumented migrants over the age of 14, with those failing to sign up risking criminal prosecution. Deportees like Anwar Mohamed, sent back to Somalia in 2018 after being convicted of a felony, recall the shock of being forced to leave the country they had come to see as home. Alan Kasujja speaks with Anwar and Muktar Ahmed about their deportation experiences, as well as Ghanaian immigration attorney Akua Aboagye, who helps families navigate the complex US immigration system.

Last Saturday, supporters and opponents of Eritrea's president, Isaias Afwerki, confronted one another in violent clashes. Yet rather than in Asmara, Eritrea's capital city, this confrontation took place in the streets of south Tel Aviv. In the second half of the 2000s, east African migration to Israel began to accelerate. Since then, in part due to changes in labor policies and law enforcement and in part to a barrier wall erected along the Egypt-Israel border, the number of new east African migrants has fallen precipitously. Nevertheless, although statistics are hard to come by with great precision, there are probably around 40,000 non-Jewish African migrants living in Israel today. What brings these mainly Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Sudanese immigrants to the cities and towns of Israel? And how does and how should Israel distinguish between those seeking humanitarian asylum and those looking for work opportunities and social benefits? These questions have become major points of debate in Israel. Some argue that the state must act in the world as a corrective to the Jewish experience of statelessness in history—that since Jews have so often been migrants and refugees and dependent on the help of others, Israel must help others in need when it can. Others argue that Israel—the political answer to the problems of Jewish statelessness—has an overriding moral obligation to welcome and to secure the lives and liberties of Jews—that it has a special obligation to pursue the ingathering of the Jewish diaspora and so to make a distinction between Jewish and non-Jewish immigrants. To discuss these issues, Yonatan Jakubowicz, formerly an advisor to Israel's Minister of Interior, and a founder of the Israeli Immigration Policy Center, joins Mosaic editor Jonathan Silver. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

Africans make up just 5 percent of immigrants in the United States but represent the fastest-growing immigrant group. For many of them, America is the land of opportunity. But the reality is sometimes more difficult, as Africans are confronted with various challenges. These include a form of racism against them – somewhat ironically, from the African American community. FRANCE 24's correspondent Fanny Allard went to Washington, as well as the states of Maryland and Virginia, to meet some of these men and women who have made a new life for themselves in the United States.

According to Stacker, The American Police killed 1,144 people killed by police in 2021, according to Mapping Police Violence, up from 1,132 people in 2020. Despite making up only 13% of the American population, Black people represent 23% of those killed by law enforcement in 2021. Police brutality, micro-aggression, racism, and excessive use of force in law enforcement  some would argue is more prevalent among African Americans. In today's episode, we compare the tale of African Immigrants to that of African Americans. How do Africans perceive  their black counterparts who have been in America or Europe but are descendants of slaves forcefully and in most cases, brutally removed from Africa? Can we seek to understand the dichotomy of the two black African tale?

Over 12% of America's Black population have been born outside the United States.      By 2060, it's projected about 33% of the U.S. Black population will be foreign-born individuals. However, the integration between Black Immigrants living in the U.S. and U.S. born Black Americans has not been the smoothest of sailings.  Can the sources of this division be overcome?

What are some of the ways COVID-19 has affected our mental health? Many people have experienced anxiety, stress or depression during the pandemic. This has come from several factors, such as social isolation, economic stress or the loss of loved ones. Or even contracting COVID-19.  For example, a recent study of 154,000 COVID-19 patients in the Veterans Affairs health care system found that people who had COVID-19 were 39% more likely to be diagnosed with depression and 35% more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety than people who did not have COVID-19.  So, you are not alone. Many of us have experienced the effects of COVID on our mental health. Q2: What can I do to protect or improve my mental health during this pandemic? Great question! The good news is there are several things you can do to stay mentally fit during the pandemic, some of which are fun. For starters, find an exercise you enjoy. Try going for a walk, jogging or doing yoga. You can also prepare and eat healthy and well-balanced meals with lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Try to limit junk foods, caffeine and alcohol. Sleep is also important and staying connected to loved ones is critical. Finally, be sure to monitor how much news and social media you consume. Watching and hearing constant updates can worsen feelings of anxiety. Q3: I hear people talking about “mental health,” but I also hear them say “behavioral health.” What is the difference? Let me explain. Behavioral health is a term used to encompass mental health conditions, substance use disorders, problem gambling and other addictions. Behavioral health is a broader term than mental health. Mental health conditions, substance use disorders and problem gambling are more narrow classifications. The National Alliance on Mental Illness intentionally uses the terms “mental health conditions” and “mental illness/es” interchangeably. A mental illness is a condition that affects a person's thinking, feeling, behavior or mood. These conditions deeply impact day-to-day living and may also affect the ability to relate to others and live the life you want to live. It is not the result of one event. Genetics, environment, relationships during early life, life experiences such as traumatic events, and lifestyle influence whether someone develops a mental health condition. A stressful job or home life may make some people more susceptible. Biochemical processes and basic brain structure may play a role, too. Mental illness is no one's fault. And for many people, recovery is possible, especially when you start treatment early and play a strong role in your own recovery process. Q4: What resources are available in the community to cover mental health issues and what type of services are offered? Your mental health is a priority. To find psychiatrists, counselors, therapists and nurses who specialize in behavioral and mental health services, contact the Mental Health Call Center at 503-988-4888. If you are on the Oregon Health Plan or Medicaid you can visit the Mental Health & Substance Abuse provider directory or call 503-988-5887. If you have no insurance you can contact agencies on the  County Contracted Addiction Services Provider Agency List. You can also call 211 for help. Another option is to visit your primary care provider. Finally, there are community-based organizations like Center for African Immigrants and Refugees Organization (CAIRO), African Family Holistic Health Organization and the Catholic Charities where support is also available.  Q5: How has COVID affected suicide rates in Oregon, especially the Black community?  This is a difficult topic, but I think it is important.  One suicide is too many. When looking at 2020, available data did not show a suicide rate increase in the U.S. In fact, Oregon was one of seven states that showed a decrease in suicide rates between 2019 and 2020. Due to the low number of suicides by individuals identified as Black Non-Hispanic and data system limitations, it is challenging to determine which communities were disproportionally affected by suicide related to the COVID pandemic in Oregon.  However, when looking at suicide rates over the past decade, all races have seen an increase in Oregon. Of specific concern is the increase in the Non-Hispanic Black population with a rate of 3.5 in 2000 to a rate of 10.9 in 2019. Oregon also reports to national suicide data. National data has shown increased rates of suicide among Black adults and children over the past decade.    What are some resources for support for those struggling with thoughts of suicide? Health inequities exist due to historic and systematic policies, rooted in white supremacy, that continue to have harmful effects today. In communities of color, addressing racism and its effects is a form of suicide prevention. The Racial Equity Support Line, 503-575-3764 (available weekdays from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. PST), is a service led and staffed by people with lived experience of racism. It offers support to those who are feeling the emotional impacts of racist violence and microaggressions, as well as the emotional impacts of immigration struggles and other cross-cultural issues. Also, Oregon launched the Safe + Strong Helpline and website, recognizing that COVID-19 has changed our lives in many ways. Call the Safe + Strong Helpline at 1-800-923- HELP (4357) and visit the Safe + Strong website to help make sense of what you're going through and to learn more about what resources and support can help you, your loved ones and the communities you live and work in. Additional Resources • 24/7 Suicide Prevention National Lifeline number: 1-800-273-8255 • 24/7 Crisis Text Line: Text “OREGON” to 741741 • Senior Loneliness Line: 503-200-1633  What should we do if someone tells us they are having thoughts of suicide? If you think someone is thinking about suicide, take the following steps: • Talk to them in private: Listen to their story, and let them know you care. • Ask directly about suicide, calmy and without judgment: “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” • Take the person seriously. • Encourage them to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-8255 or the Crisis Text Line, text OREGON to 741741.  • Stay with them while they contact one of these services. . Q6: Ever since the pandemic started, I have noticed that my son is struggling to stay happy. How can I help him? Being a young person during this time can be especially difficult. Kids and teens have had to cope with isolation, missing school and milestones, and uncertainty about the future. Unlike adults, they are still developing skills to navigate these challenges.  Our young people also face issues like racial injustice and bullying. This can lead to low self-esteem and several kinds of behavioral problems, like substance abuse.  It is important for family and friends to reach out to youth and let them know they are not alone, and let them know you are there to help. When young people have caring family members or friends who support them, they can better manage times like these. There are lots of places you can go for help. YouthLine for teen-to-teen crisis help is a phone line and a texting support line are offered through Lines for Life. Trained teens respond from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, PDT. Adults are also available 24/7. Call 1-877-968-8491; text teen2teen to 839863. You can also Google:  Therapy for Black Girls or email info@therapyforblackgirls.com National Alliance on Mental Illness or call 703-524-7600 Q7: Sometimes I feel like I can't deal with one more thing. First we shut down due to this pandemic, then George Floyd, then there's confusion about when to wear masks, or don't wear masks. Now, there's inflation and a war in Ukraine. How can I cope with all of these changes? It is exhausting isn't it? We are ALL tired. It has been a long and difficult two years. What you are feeling is called change fatigue. As people, we like routine, and we get fatigued when our routines are disrupted. One thing that helps is to find a new rhythm. If keeping a mask on is helpful for you, then keep it on. If you want to continue to follow physical distance guidelines, do that. You can also try things like eating at the same time every day, or going to bed and getting out of bed at the same time every day. These are little things that can provide predictability and routine in our unpredictable world.  Q8: April is National Minority Health Month. How does this support the Black, African American and African Immigrant community? National Minority Health Month highlights the ways in which the FDA's Office of Minority Health and Health Equity is working to improve minority health and health equity. This year's theme is “Give Your Community a Boost” and focuses on the fight against COVID-19. One goal is to address misinformation. So there are videos that show people from diverse backgrounds working on the COVID-19 vaccines, and the importance of diverse communities getting vaccinated and boosted. Getting vaccinated and boosted is the best thing we can do to protect ourselves and protect our community, so I hope you'll check out the videos on the FDA's Minority Health and Health Equity website.  Document accessibility: For individuals with disabilities or individuals who speak a language other than English, OHA can provide information in alternate formats such as translations, large print, or braille.

Today is abbreviated episode of The Breakdown as we rush to help African students and immigrants who are either stuck on the Ukrainian side of the border or virtually lost on the other side once they've crossed over.We're hiring several African students who've crossed over to help us build a database of those who need help. And we're partnering with several brilliant NGO's and donors who will help us with housing and transportation from there.

Over 500,000 refugees have now fled Ukraine in just the past few days alone. In a country that is 99% white, it came as a surprise to many of us to learn that tens of thousands of African immigrants were living, working, and being educated there - and were among those attempting to flee to safety.It was, then, a deep disappointment to see those African immigrants, many with infant children, in freezing cold temperatures, being mistreated and denied an opportunity to flee.Three days after those first videos emerged, I'll unpack and explain what I know, and tell you why I am hopeful that things will be much better from here on out.

Three high profile police killings of Black men in the past two years have led to ongoing conversations about racial justice in Minnesota. There's also been noticeable solidarity between the state's African American and African immigrant populations. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports.

I chat with Dr. Onoso Imoagene, Associate Professor of Sociology at NYU Abu Dhabi. We delve into her research comparing second generation immigrant Nigerians in the UK and the USA in her book "Beyond Expectations." She explains why Nigerian Americans are more patriotic than our British cousins. We also discuss her new project on the US Diversity Visa (DV). It's a lottery system that is not really a lottery and Trump famously said it let in people from "s***hole countries!"  She spills the tea on developing countries subsidizing the education of its natives that are then pulled away through the DV.   Dr. Onoso Imoagene's book "Beyond Expectations: Second-Generation Nigerians in the United States and Britain: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Expectations-Second-Generation-Nigerians-Britain/dp/0520292324  More about Dr. Imoagene: https://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/academics/divisions/social-science/faculty/onoso-imoagene.html  Follow me on Twitter: @chinyereosuji  Instagram: @chifromdachi --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drchi/message

This is the second installment of a special, collaborated miniseries recorded live in collaboration with the PansaPansa Podcast. We continue our a three-part discussion series by featuring the voices of those who are children of African immigrants. Moderated by Dr. Ibe-Lamberts, six speakers representing Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Liberia, Guinea and Congo speak about their experiences growing up immigrants, negotiating their cultural identity and wishing to be heard by their parents.  See how it's broken down below and stay tuned for part 3 coming up. Part 1- Parents speak (Dec. 4th, 2021) Part 2- children speak (Jan. 29th, 2022) Part 3- Both listen to one another (TBD)

This is a special, collaborated episode that was recorded live with PansaPansa Podcast. African Immigrant parents and children need to have a real conversation—a real heart-to-heart that our culture sometimes never permits for whatever reason. A lot of us who grew up in African Immigrant homes (or just immigrant homes in general) have upbringings that we relate to and sometimes commiserate about. We've done a few episodes about this in season 2. There is a generational gap, sometimes fueled by tension and other times simply a disconnect because of a lack of understanding. Children don't know what their parents are going through while raising them and parents always don't allow their relationship with their children to evolve as their children grow older. It's a dynamic that only those who live it, understand it. But our parents are getting older and we still need to find ways to learn lessons from one another, to heal. So with @pansa.pansaforum and @bridgingafricansblackamericans, we developed a three-part series to make this bring this conversation to you. This is part 1. See how it's broken down below and stay tuned for part 2 coming up. To join the upcoming conversation, go to https://bit.ly/genconvo2 Part 1- Parents speak (Dec. 4th, 2021) Part 2- children speak (Jan. 29th, 2022) Part 3- Both listen to one another (TBD)

The U.S. Department of State has cleverly sent a warning to would-be irregular migrants from Africa, who may be drawing inspiration from the crisis at the country's southern border.A spokesperson of the department, Jalina Porter, who gave the warning, on Friday, said anyone seeking to enter the U.S. should do so through “legal pathways”. she told reporters at a news briefing.“So, we say to those in Africa who are looking at what's going on along the border that the border is and always has been closed to irregular migration.“The Biden administration certainly prioritises responsible and safe migration practices, and this doesn't preclude anyone, whether you're in the Northern Triangle or Central America or whether you are from Africa.President Joe Biden is already facing a crisis at the border because of a massive surge of migrants along the U.S. border with Mexico.

As covid vaccines become more available, public health efforts are starting to focus on education and access.

On this week’s Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, puts on his Returned Peace Corps Volunteer hat to kick off a series of interviews with Kentuckians who have served abroad in the U.S. Peace Corps. We begin this week in the first years of the Peace Corps with Angene & Jack Wilson from Lexington. As Volunteers, they taught in Liberia 1962-64, and then Jack worked for the Peace Corps as Associate Director in Sierra Leone 1966-68, Desk Officer for Nigeria and The Gambia in 1969, and Director in Fiji 1970-72. More recently, they’ve conducted oral history projects with the University of Kentucky’s Nunn Center, publishing two books: “Voices from the Peace Corps: Fifty Years of Kentucky Volunteers” and “Voices of African Immigrants in Kentucky: Migration, Identity, and Transnationality.” The first was published in 2011 by University Press of Kentucky and a paperback edition will be issued in 2021 to celebrate Peace Corps’ 60th anniversary. The second was written with professors Francis Musoni, originally from Zimbabwe, and Iddah Otieno, originally from Kenya, and published by the Press this past in January.

This podcast is an extension of the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement. I created GRCAM is because I got tired of all of the division among Black People. Pan-Africanism was not working for Black Americans I wanted to start a new movement for Black People to unite us based on individuals who cared about solving black issues. I created GRCAM in 1991 on a site called Gopher. I wanted to create an organization which will focus on solving black issues in America. I also wanted to connect with other like-minded African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants, Afro-Latinos throughout the Diaspora. I also wanted to build a bridge between the Diaspora and Continental Africans or Native Africans which is the Global Black Family.

We explore different Black identities from being African Immigrants to being African American. The differences and the similarities. We interview Blaqk Maina who is a African Immigrant and moved to the USA as a young child and Felicia Kelly, who is an African American and America is home to her and all of her family dating back as far as she can remember.

In a world of painful racial and ethnic inequality, the Black race has continued to face the most marginalization, and Africans unfortunately take this trophy home.

Welcome back to the Perilous Podcast, a news and oral history project featuring original interviews with prisoners and detainees who have participated in or witnessed protests, uprisings and other forms of unrest behind bars. We also gather analysis and insight from researchers and advocates in an effort to build a better understanding of systems of incarceration and collective action and strategy. This week, we cover the hunger strike that occurred at the Pine Prairie ICE Detention Center in Louisiana. In order to better understand what happened at Pine Prairie and the context in which the protest occurred, Perilous correspondent Ryan Fatica spoke with Sylvie Bello, founder and CEO of the Cameroonian American Council. Sylvie, who is in touch with the strikers and their families, was able to paint a vivid picture of the conditions that have led the detainees at Pine Prairie to put their bodies on the line. Perilous Chronicle is run by a small group of dedicated volunteers and very little funding. If you value our work, please support us by visiting our website and donating via PayPal or Patreon and rate and follow us on iTunes. With your help, we can expand our efforts to track, document and archive the stories of prisoners and detainees who are standing up for themselves in the midst of overwhelming odds. Perilous relies on crowdsourced information for our grassroots tracking and archival efforts. If you have information or are in touch with a prisoner or detainee who has witnessed or been involved in a protest or other form of unrest, please get in touch with us at info@perilouschronicle.com.

Immigration is front and center in Washington, in the news, on social media and in everyday conversation. More than 20 years after I came to America, I feel well-adjusted and proud to be a naturalized American citizen. I do, however, feel the tension between African immigrants and African Americans. Sometimes it is subtle, other times it is pretty blatant, with attacks based on perceptions of one another. While one would think that having the same ethnic background would create a kinship, it is quite apparent that unresolved tensions keep these two groups of black Americans divided. I am joined by KMOX radio personality, reporter, author and TV host Carol Daniel to discuss the following:What does it even mean to be African American?What are some misconceptions from both sides?What are some of our personal experiences?What can we do to close the gap?If you enjoy this podcast, tune in for Episode 6 as we continue the conversation, getting even deeper and looking at why we need to work together as we head into the election year.

In This Episode: I was absolutely shocked by an article I read on Flipboard, and I just had to share it with you all. NOT ALL AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS ARE ILLEGAL !!! It is wrong to assume that any African you speak to, is an illegal immigrant. Not all Africans aim to make you fall in love with them so that they can marry you for a green card. There are very many legal, educated and hardworking Africans, living in the USA. Mentioned In This Episode: 1. CODE 55 Store: https://www.code55store.com 2. Flipboard: https://flipboard.com/ 3.

In this special interview, we speak over the phone with two Black immigrants who are detained in Atlanta City Detention Center, as well as Kevin Caron, a local Atlanta organizer and abolitionist that does tremendous work with immigrant communities. Throughout the interview you will notice difficulties with telephone connection and communication; we decided not to edit these things out, and instead to leave these various difficulties in the audio as to expose the listeners to the vast difficulties that often come with trying to communicate with incarcerated people. Mohammed, who is from Ghana, discusses his journey of coming to the US, the difficulties he has faced being a Black, Muslim immigrant in jail, the impact incarceration has on mental health, and the impossible challenges he has faced in trying to navigate the US immigration system. The Richard, from Jamaica, discusses the inhumane conditions they face within the jails/detention centers, the legal battles that he has endured, and how these issues of immigration specifically impact African and Caribbean immigrants. Finally we end with an interview with Kevin Caron, a local Atlanta organizer and abolitionist who does tremendous work with detained immigrants and throughout many immigrant communities. Kevin works with both Georgia Detention Watch and A World Without Police. [DISCLAIMER: This interview was recorded in the beginning of May, and a few weeks after this interview was recorded we got word that Mohammed was freed in June and has safely returned to his home in Ghana.] listen to our other episodes at Groundings.Simplecast.fm follow Devyn on Twitter @HalfAtlanta and check out Christopher's radio show Rhythm & Resistance on WRFG.

The illusion of separation feels very real and painful as we experience escalating tensions around the world. Perpetual global crises move us into response with the same patterns we have always embodied. But what if the way we respond to crisis is part of the crisis? What are we missing in our well-established practices of change-making? What do we fail to see in our conventional efforts to enact a ‘better' world? And what if we don't even know how to ask the right questions yet? Join us for a riveting conversation with the author of the popular blog post, “The Surprising Nobility of S#*!: A Serious Response to President Donald Trump's ‘S#*!hole' Remarks about African Immigrants,” Bayo Akomolafe.

Nestled in apartments and offices throughout the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou are dozens of improvised churches that cater to the region's Pentecostal Africans, largely from Nigeria. These churches not only serve the community's religious needs but also act as a sort of cultural refuge for African migrants living in Guangzhou. National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) masters candidate Chen Yirong is among a small group of foreign who have gained access to these seldom seen churches as part of her research on the religious patterns of African migrants in southern China. Chen joins us to discuss the role these churches play among Nigerian migrants and the difficulties they face in avoiding detection from Chinese authorities.
